Infront of the white numbers on the Leica there it about a 1/4 inch of fine thread

The lens has the matching thread, I'm carefull when screwing on if feels delicate

My local camera store explained to me that Hoya has two lines, but as I recall it may not be immediately apparent from the names which is which. Anyway one is cheap , the other is higher quality and they said equal to the B+W and Heliopan etc. Someone earlier on this thread called them the "Pro " filters I think.
 
I bought the slim B+W UV haze mrc 82mm filter from bhphotovideo. I did not take my hvx camera out of the box until the filter came in. I am currently waiting for the B+W slim polarizer filter to be in stock, that sucker is $$ but I REFUSE to buy anything else but B+W, for me, if it's in front of the lens, it has to be B+W or it's just not good enough for my camera.

You can cut corners with other production gear, I just would advise against cutting corners in front of the lens.
